its not a level, its a laser liner.

its ok mate, i wouldnt rave about it for the price.
i was expecting the beam to be alot brighter and be seen alot further. i bought one off ebay last year and sent it back because it had been dropped. then i bought a new one which is okish..they are handy for setting out in mutiple rooms but there are other cheaper options which are decent. the laser liner floor square from trade tiler is as good imo.....dave now sells the bosch floor sqaure and seems to rate it

Ive heard that the laser on the bosch one isnt particulary great.

i dont think any of them are mate...when they project from the floor, they never get that height distance to project.

All the students at my last training center asked the instructor what he thought on laser levels? He thought they were useless & a waste of money,better off with a spirit level.

i got one of these bloomin good puts lines on the floor and up the walls and goes horizontally right round the room pretty much

i cant see anything but if its the one i think it is, it looks very similar to the laser liner one at trade tiler...

its called the lp330 and kind of looks like a lighthouse 4 windows

yes, its like the cross laser i have heard good reports about the one you've got brinkley

It depends on the type of laser you go for, A good brand is essential imo. They are accurate and save lots of time. If your instructor can match their accuracy with the top of range spirit level (Stabila) imo he is very good. I have used both methods, and prefare a good laser The most accurate method for me is a water level, especially in multiple room areas. The Egyptians used this method to build the pyramids, thats good enough for me.

Yes a laser is good kit but also a tradesmen should be able to use a spirit level as well.. Hand/eye skills are a must.

and if you want even better accuracy, try a water level!! great for multiple room setting out and swimming pools

Hi Rhinos I have one of these levels and swear by it it the dogs . Brick effect tiling etc it helps out gives very proffesional results. Iwould say better for walls than floor and shop around on the internet . I got mine for £145 throu searching on internet ..do not pay more than £150.00 Very good piece of kit .. hope this helps mate !!!
